Alec Baldwin brought his wife, Hilaria, to the East Hampton Library event where he signed copies of his new book, “Nevertheless,” wherein he writes about “growing up” and “the famous people I have known and the joy I had working with them.”

Baldwin soaked up the compliments about his wicked impersonation of President Trump on “Saturday Night Live” while chatting with guests. He told admirers who were worried that he won’t return next season to “SNL” to reprise his role as the leader of the free world: “Don’t worry, I’ll be back, but maybe not as much. I need to see what we can laugh about by then.”

He also said he will moderate “The New Normal in News: Ideology vs. Fact” at Guild Hall in East Hampton on Aug. 21st. Baldwin sits on the board of the arts and cultural institution, which opened a show by the late photographer Richard Avedon on Saturday night.
